Twitter reacts to ugly first half of football, douses Seahawks with unkindness

Twitter has a tendency to kick a man while he’s down. They had no better opportunity to do so than Sunday afternoon when the Seattle Seahawks traveled to Carolina but forgot to get off the plane.

The third of the weekend’s four football games turned into a bloodbath early. At halftime, the Carolina Panthers led the 31-0 over the NFC team that had been to two straight Super Bowls. It became evident early there would be no third straight.

Taking to Twitter suddenly became more entertaining than the game itself.

A few years back, had Colt McCoy not pulled himself out of the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME because his damn shoulder hurt, and had Texas actually beaten ‘Bama that night, I would have won my college football pool, a couple hundred to the good.

Instead a boo boo kept the guy from playing and ‘Bama went on to win.

Who does that?

It was at that point on that I knew McCoy wouldn’t amount to anything in the NFL.

At what point were we going to see a meltdown from either Michael Bennett or Richard ‘ Sherminator’ Sherman of Seahawks during the game against the Panthers ? Bennett with his continued idiocy still can’t live down his remarks about Todd Gurley being overrated (Gurley as a rookie for the Rams finished in the top-ten in rushing yards) and he was playing on an average Rams’ team.

Is it me but are the Buccaneers more intent on payoff the remainder of the contracts of fired head coaches , than they are in finding decent talent for a mediocre team ? The Bucs had to pay off Jon Gruden , Raheem Morris, Greg Schiano and now Lovie Smith , all of whom we fired with years left on the remainder of their respective contracts . And I am meant to believe the organization have any idea as to what the hell they’re doing much less the fans knowing what the Buccaneers are trying to do other than look mediocre ?

How much longer will Brighthouse Networks sports’ anchor Rock Riley have his lips pressed firmly against the butt-crack of Jameis Winston ?

Calvin Johnson seriously contemplating retirement ? See what the league can do to a player when they have an overrated quarterback passing to them ? Matt Stafford says he’ll miss Calvin should he retire ? Is Stafford making that statement because of the number of times he’s mistimed his passess to the wide receiver ? With that in mind, I wonder what the thoughts are concerning Jay Cutler and Tony Romo , if their receiving corps were to announce their retirements ?

Deja-vu ? Another Tom Brady , Peyton Manning , playoff matchup ? Just what the doctor ordered ? Roger Goodell is either happy or just miffed . At the same time, I can’t help but wonder if he’s not entirely p#ssed at the fact, even if the league still tries to go ahead with the appeal against Brady , it would have to now take place after the Superbowl .

The Patriots’ having to forfeit a first round draft pick in light of Deflate-Gate is like a slap on the wrist . The idiocy of the league is not unique at all , as it epitomizes what is wrong and will remain wrong , as long as Goodell is still the commissioner.

The stats don’t lie , but the real body of work will come down to the rings , four to Peyton’s one.

We can bi#ch and whine all we want, about Deflate-Gate and all of the other alleged scandals concerning the Pats. Yet, in reality , the NFL and their ongoing hypocrisy are just as culpable in the mess , as the teams involved the repeated scandals we have seen within this league since its inception. That is something fans clearly don’t understand or are willing to admit to, at all. Agree or disagree ? .
